Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

-5 < 3 + m

-3 -3

- 8 < m --- m > -8


  • Remember, a negative plus another negative becomes a negative
  • The reason why I put, "- 8 < m --- m > -8" was because most of the times, the variable is on the left side.... Hope I make since...
  • You can check by plugging in -8 for m.

CHECKING:

-5 < 3 + 8

-5 < 11

This is a TRUE statement because -5 is less than 11.


Hope this helps you!!! :)

-5 < 3 + m subtract 3 from both sides

-5 - 3 < 3 - 3 + m

-8 < m → m > -8
